Matt, англоязычный репетитор школы Skyeng

My name is Matthew, although everyone calls me Matt. I was born in England but I am currently living in South Africa, which is a very different country. It’s amazing though and I love it here!

I graduated from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, in 2009, with a degree in Countryside Management. But I have always wanted to work with children and adults and, while at university, I spent some time in a local school. It was then that I realised how much I enjoyed it and that teaching was the job for me.

I started working with very young children in England before training as an English teacher, in 2012, just before I started working in a summer school, also in England. I then moved to China where I worked with children and teenagers for 3 years before moving to Turkey to teach adults. I also taught teenagers. From Turkey I moved to Russia. I taught all ages in Russia, including business English to various companies in Moscow.

After 5 years of teaching, I still love being in a classroom with my students and making sure they have fun. I feel that if a lesson is fun and enjoyable, the students will remember it and, more importantly, what they learnt in the lesson.

Working all over the world as taught me a lot about myself and the world. I have learnt a lot about other cultures although I feel I still have a lot to learn about this wonderful world we all live in. I can learn as much from you as you can from me and that excites me. So, let’s start our lessons today and start learning!
